I’m in the “not sold on Patenaude” crowd. My issue isn’t that we were bad on offense- I expected a drop off - but that we were just plan inept. There were the occasional good days, but mostly it was a succession of 3-and-outs. I believe that Patenaude threw together a collection of plays...

I said I hadn’t played Chicopee, but after reviewing my list of courses played, I see that I did play it and gave it a 4 out 5 stars rating.

Play St Marlo and Bear’s Best. Skip The Hooch - it’s not a birthday course. Chateau Elan and Reunion are worth playing. I’ve not played the others.

CPJ commented on that once. The coaches’ families have to make a lot of sacrifices and moving every few years is one of them. From what I can see, you either learn to adapt, divorce, or the coach goes into a different line of work.

I expect that we’ll be better defensively. Offensively, Patenaude better settle on a scheme real quick and drill the team on it all spring and fall. I’m still amazed that we were so bad offensively last year. Through the first 11 games of the season, the offense punted or turned the ball over...

I’m confident we’ll have some success defensively early on. However, it won’t matter unless the offense finds a way to move the ball and stay on the field. If the offense spends the first half finding new ways to go three-and-out, then the defense will tire quickly and the second half will be...

I wouldn’t make any coaching changes until Dec 2020, and then only if 2020 looked awfully like 2019. My pet theory this week on the offense is that Patenaude either didn’t or couldn’t decisively pick an offensive scheme. Part of me wonders if while he knows the individual plays, he hasn’t...

CPJ’s tenure was the history of GT football since the mid-1950’s. Great seasons, awful seasons, and seasons in between. While I have no evidence, I believe Bobinski is the main reason why the football program has struggled the past several years. I think Gailey would have coached here longer...

That thread was totally different . The difference was...uhh...well...it was different.

We’ve been struggling at the LOS for a few years now. I think CGC will be able to recruit some better athletes and that will help there. Defensively, I like what I see and I’m confident that we’ll have good defenses in the future. Offensively, time will tell. I think we tried to do too...

I don’t think the team is as bad as it seems. Offensively, things are still a mess, but you can see some hope in the stats. For example, we were keeping up with UNC on a per play basis. Also, this past game we had receivers getting behind the defenders, which we haven’t seen happen in a long...

A tragic comedy, of course.

Finally got around to looking at the stats. GT offense was better than what it looked. They only ran 46 plays, had to do it in a smidgeon over 18 minutes, and did so to the tune of 6.5 yd per play. I think that’s pretty good for a team executing a brand new offense. Similarly, the team was...

I may have butchered the terminology. I meant the month or so of practice right before the season begins. I think we’re saying the same thing.

I’ll throw in my two cents. 1. T. Oliver is the QB. Everyone else is a backup. You don’t have to say it since that may be counter to the ATL philosophy, but that is what needs to happen. 2. The TE needs to have only two spots in the formation and motion is limited to going from spot A to...

The multiple QB approach is fine as long as you aren’t trying to run a different system with each one. Each QB can just know his stuff, but the OL, RB, WR, & TR has to know all of it. You can emphasize different components of the offense with each QB so long as the basic offense is same for...

I’m in wait and see mode. If USF is as bad some are saying, this could be a 3-9 type year. Ouch. I think the reason for the complaining about the offense is two-fold. First, I think some fans expected 30+ passes per game and maybe some drop back passing too. Clearly, neither has happened...

I approve of this switch. I think more speed at linebacker is needed.

I’ll see you at the course.

That’s OK with me. It’s been a while since I’ve played at Woodmont. Nice course. Hit your opening tee shot to the left side on hole 1 and you’ll be off to a good start.
